Absolute Poker = Rock Garden

Augie · #1 04-16-2005, 08:26 PM

So I sign up for Absolutes rakeback and $500 bonus and . . .Wowser! What a Rock Garden.

It's Saturday night, it's low-limit holdem, and it's 'night of the living dead!'

I guess I'll see how the the SNGs play, but I may be gone from this site before I start. Another FullTilt I guess.

Raise and when every folds show your 95o and that loosens things up.

Heh, I did a double-take on your avatar, Ted Dibiase, now that brings back some memories.

What is sinful about the WWF?

Except when he called Virgil a Guh-Guh-Guh-Gutter rat!

I'd rather have him be a crazy moralizer like the former Ultimate Warrior (right-wing nutbag) than a degenerate murderer (?) like Lex Lugar.

EDIT: Oh yeah, play shorthanded HE or one of the hi/lo split games if you want a loosey-goosey fest on Absolute

i play the .5/1 Limit tables and i don't have too much trouble, i don't think its a total rock garden...i still get guys calling me down with bottom pair

What limits are you playing? I get sucked out more on absolute than I do on party. Most of the tables I play are 35% seeing the flop on a full handed table. This past weekend it did seem kinda rocky though, try again, its not as bad as you think.

switch to $1 and $0.50 NL. After seeing 4 people call down with the best starting hand J6off and at least 1 sucking out you'll think rock garden.

If there are a lot of people calling down then how is it a rock garden if they suck out on you? "rock garden" generally refers to a table of very T/A players so if you have 4 people calling you down with a weak hand, I would think they are playing L/P thus its not a rock garden?
